We are about to pack up.

One more week is in hand & we are about to pack up.  Today, there was a forecast for rain & so it happened .   Day's  temp. = 70 deg. F  = 21deg C.    Tomorrow, there may be isolated thunderstorms, as per weather forecast.
Runi had been to the lab & came home in the evening. Yash received a  home  delivery of a LED monitor for his Computer. It  was working perfectly, when tested, & the display was large & beautiful.  He also went to his lab &  came home early.
We are now weighing our suitcases. We are set to pack up.
From friends & relatives plus from Newspapers (Bengali), I came to know that there had been much rainfall in Kolkata for the last four days. The harrowing  experience of  a Chakra Rail  (the Circular Rlys.) commuters remaining stuck up for hrs. together, bec. of  waterlogging caught my attention. I saw photos in r/o the same. Now.....I learn that the  Chakra Rlys. authority have decided  not to run the Rlys. in the event of a heavy downpour.  I also learn that the rain has stopped, at least for the time being, in Kol.
The 22nd day of the  Beng. month Sravana i.e Baishe Shraban  which marks the day on which Rabindranath
( Rabi Thakur)  passed away has elapsed  already............I read the news in the Bengali newspapers.
